Damn right bro. Sowore is just an egotistic and vainglorious individual who is not committed to anything other than what he wants and how he can get it asap - never mind who (Nigerians) or what (our democracy) is harmed in the process. Nigerians don't appreciate that what he did is not seen elsewhere.

You don't just lose a Political election to then decide you no longer wish to endure with the same political order you sought to lead
few months earlier.

Otherwise, why did Hilary not lead a 'revolution' against Trump after she lost? Why is it not happening anywhere in the world for those that have committed to be democratic politicians to then throw their toy out of the pram when they lose election to begin seeking anarchy against the winner? If you want to be a fighter for the oppressed commit to that as Fela did and stay away from politics. If you want to be a politician commit to that and come back stronger to fight another day when you lose.

As for Kanu, the less said about that hate-monger and scammer the better. As you opined, Fela is the only name on that list genuinely and selflessly committed to fighting for the best interest of Nigerians.

Sowore left the comfort of New York, USA one of the greatest cities ever built in civilization to come back to the fanatastically corrupt shithole the likes of Buhari have created to fight for the masses.

ChiefkeefGB4:
You forgot he was incarcerated and an attempt made to assasinate him. He belongs in the same league as Fela Kuti when it comes to activism.

He was a coward who ran away. Simple and plain

You want him to come back and be a martyr? There is a fine line between bravery and foolishness

ChiefkeefGB4:
You have to realise most of the youths who voted for Buhari were not born during his tyrannical rule in the 80's when he brutalised Fela Kuti.
Most of us fell for the propaganda by the media about how Buhari was a born again democrat who was going to fight 'kwarapion'.
We didn't know he was a wolf he sheeps clothing who was going to be more corrupt and brutal than Abacha.

This makes no sense. Was Fela alive in 2015?

[quote author=MetaPhysical post=81598766];[s]D

Ibos find it hard to accept that Kanu is a coward. They try to rewrite his history.

The same method they used to bring an uncivilized Ibo society into prominence by inserting it into any historical accounts where Yoruba was featured.....and through that attachment gradually and fraudulently brought Ibo into historical perspective and prominence.

Can you mention of any civilization of Ibo beside the oft repeated Igbo ukwu? No. Everytime Ife art is recalled you see Igbo ukwu. What is Igbo ukwu? A single jar of bronze. We are not even sure it belonged to igbo since no other work of art is found or neither is any knowledge about the bronze jar. Yet this ukwu is called a civilization.

With Kanu they are trying to make him a hero...in the likes of Fela. So they attach his mention with honorable and brave Yoruba social activists. Yoruba is Ibo's god! Without us they are nobody.

How can a coward be a hero? But this is Ibo, it is not impossible for a coward to be hero in alaibo. Ojukwu is good example.

....even criminals wanted by fbi are heroes in Iboland. Nwabufor said in his article, the Igbo crime culture, "an Iboman was guillotined to death in Asia for drug crimes, back in village he was eulogized as an hero". Imagine!

Coward Kwenu! Kwenu! Kwenu!!!



I exepect mods to soon ban me under pretext of spambot. Theyve been doing that lately in response to reports about me. I dont violate rule so i cant be bannsd...but they censor me with spambot. Ive learned to just wait out its expiration. [[/s]/quote]

Just look at what tribalism is doing to your brain. All these words yet empty and devoid of any intelligence.

You no longer think clearly, if you did you would have known the thread is not about tribe.

Officialgarri:
Putting Kanu on that list as Fela is an utter disrespect to the word 'activism'

Was there any time Fela ran from this country? Has Kanu even suffered a pinch of what Fela went through?

Fela was an activist during military era, he never fled the military.
Kanu tried to speak for his people only during a democratic era and where is he today? Acting porn somewhere in London

As for sowore...... He failed himself from the start. Choosing the word 'revolution' was a betrayal of his knowledge of the law. I wish him best of luck in his next 25 days in detention

You are talking about semantics here. Sowore just called for a protest which is within his democratic rights. His detention has been condemned by all human rights and constitutional lawyers. Fela Kuti if he was alive would have called for the same thing Sowore is advocating.

When it comes to human rights activism, no reasonable person can deny that Fela Kuti, Omoyele Sowore and Nnamdi have not done their part. I'm not going to eve go into who has done more than the other because to be a human rights activist in Nigeria is a dangerous undertaking which very few people have guts to embark on

All three men deserve to be hailed

It going to be hard convince any reasonable person in the world that Kanu is a coward.

A man who knew he was wanted in Nigeria, but he announced he would come back no matter was and did so, was arrested, spent 2 years in jail. Cowards dont do that sort of thing

Armed Soldiers went Kanu's house to kill him for no reason, he escaped. Only a complete fool hands himself over to his enemies for slaughter

Which human rights did Kanu advocate?

Kanu is not a human rights activist. He is what is called a separatist.

Kanu called for extermination of Pastor Kumuyi simply because he is Yoruba and Kanu was not in favor of Yoruba shepherding Ibo evangelism. Kanu called for extermination of Buhari. He denigrated the Yoruba race in very uncultured ways. Is that who you guys call human rights activist? The guy is a separatist, he does not belong in the rank of Fela or Sowore....at all at all.

When he announced he will come to Nigeria he bragged that he would storm Nigeria and free his people.

Nigeria did not know Kanu was in the country if not his own people that ratted him out after he was smuggled in from Benin and hidden in a motel in mile 2.

He did not enter Nigeria legally...he came in with intention to discreetly organize volunteers in SE. He did not want to be arrested. So the fact he sneaked in and was arrested is a negative on whatever credence of bravery is attributed to him.

Brave men will not sneak in to face their challenger...they come in boldly and with confidence.

Can you just listen to yourself? Why is it so hard for Nigerians to put emotions and bias aside and just back what is right for god sake? Sowore came to contest an election and lost. He then decided to promote anarchy for the Government of the winner of that election. If he came to "fight for the masses" as you claim then he should have stayed away from politics to embrace sensitising Nigerians to agitate for good governance.

Just because you hate Buhari does not mean you should blind yourself to the obvious which is that sensible Nigerians are not bothered about Sowore because he chose to be a politician first and then when he failed he now wants to taint the political system he was keen to lead a few months ago as "evil" and to be "brought down" by "revolution". Objective Nigerians see through his insincerity and desperation even if you can't. It is not about blaming "evil tyrant Buhari" for everything but about some accepting the consequences of their action.

Because Nigerians are biased and personality-centred (either hating leaders or loving them unobjectively) we never discern the true picture as other objective folks do. There was a peace accord in place EU and the West backed. Sowore violated it. That same EU or West will now speak up for someone they consider a trouble-maker and treacherous anarchist? The world is not built on sentiment as Nigeria is. Commit to something and abide with it or risk being characterised as lacking uprightness and thus undeserving of support. Trust me, Sowore will rot in jail unless Buhari wishes to be lenient.

https://eeas.europa.eu/delegations/nigeria_en/58156/Peace%20Accord%20Excites%20the%20EU

The EU is proud to be part of the process leading to the signing of the National Peace Accord by the candidates in Nigeria's February 16 presidential election. President Muhammadu Buhari, his main challenger, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and other candidates on Wednesday signed the second and final peace pact ahead of the elections. By signing the Peace Accord, the candidates have committed to ensuring that peace reigns before, during and after the elections. The Accord was facilitated by the National Peace Committee led by former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, with the support of European Union.

What is this blind argument? The man said he he will come back to Nigeria, no matter what, and he did. Your argument is he didn't land at Murtala International Airport and blow a trumpet that he has arrived? Would a coward leave a country where he he is at ease to go to a country where he is wanted? A coward wouldn't even do that, he wouldnt even to take the risk of sneaking in.

Confronting your challenger does not mean you make it easy for you challenger to defeat you by easily presenting your self to him, that is stupid

Nnamdi Kanu is not stupid

Kanu is a human rights activist, he is championing the right of his people to choose and decide what country they want to belong to.

I dont care who Kanu called, for their extermination, whether Buhari or Kumuyi. The impo9thing is that he has exterminated nobody, unlike herdsmen who exterminate people daily

Nnamdi Kanu is an ethnic supremacist that Buhari brought to limelight through grievious human rights abuses he commited against IPOB protestors that should earn him a court date with ICC. Nnamdi Kanu is an extremist and holds some radical viewpoints, but does not advocate violence, but public disgrace and embarrassment of public officials.

The right to protest is enshrined in every democratic country and Buhari has denied Nigerians that right. There are protests happening in Hong Kong and France that have lasted several weeks and no single bullet was fired.

However, under Buhari rule live bullets were used on unarmed protestors. Fela Kuti warned Nigerians about the vampire and will be rolling in his grave that Nigerians who love to suffer brought him back to power

So you agree his activism is narrowed and specific to Ibo alone.

Human rights activists dont call for people to be assaulted and stoned and killed. Kanu has called for all these upon Ibo leaders.

Kanu is a separatist. Look up the word.

So why did he confront Buhari after his release from prison. Was that smart?

If coming to country with identification was stewpid why was his self destruct approach in Afaraukwu smart?

Nnamdi Kanu could have stayed in London,England enjoying 24 hour electricity,good road network,professional law enforcement agencies and sipping tea with his pinky finger and eating fish and chips. He decided to come and help his people that live bullets were being used against them for protesting which is their fundamental human rights.

He will pursue a case with the International Criminal Court against Buhari from London, England after his tenure and he loses his immunity. You can't kill armless protestors like animals and be allowed to get away with it

Private individuals have no legal recognition in the ICC. You have to be a Sovereign State to file proceedings. How does Kanu intend to accomplish this legal pursuit?
